Kim Joo-young (Korean: 김주영) (born March 9, 1991), better known as Jooyoung (Korean: 주영), is a South Korean singer-songwriter. Debuted in 2010, he is currently signed under Starship Entertainment since 2014.
Prior to his debut under RealCollabo, Jooyoung and his schoolmate Shin Dong-woo (who later debuted as B1A4's CNU) created a J&D duo for 2009 Chinchin Youth Song Festival. They had a band named 갭골 (Gapgol), and Jooyoung's nickname was 갭주 (Gapjoo).
Jooyoung was first introduced to public through a cover of George Benson's Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You uploaded on October 11, 2010 on RealCollabo's YouTube channel as RealCollabo's 2nd artist. A month later he released another cover of Jeremy Passion's Well Done. He finally debuted on December 7 with digital single "그대와 같아 (Same as You)".
On December 11, 2012 he released his first mini album "From Me to You" with self composed song "네게 난" as title track, which also marked his debut as songwriter.

Jooyoung announced his departure from RealCollabo on April 4, 2013 via his personal Twitter. After leaving RealCollabo, he moved to Belikewater Records. He was featured on Lyn's song "High Heel", and guested on her showcase performing the song. On September 30, he released digital single "Popstar", produced by Jay Chong.
